i have a few miscellaneous questions about the 2 stroke engine. it all works great, first off!

ok.
1. How far out should the idler screw be turned? i think i have it set to maybe one and a quarter - one and a half turns from all the way in. seems to be working ok, but instructions said to 'turn it till it idled at 4,200 rpm'. what am i supposed to count?
2. ive read about the engine 'breaking in' and then going faster. i have the 44t sprocket, and i go about 30mph flat surface. for the first tank i did 16:1, now im on the 20:1 ratio. i took it easy the first tank, but now i open it up often.
(3 and 4 may go into a different section. if no one answers, ill post elsewhere)
3. if i have mountain bike tires as shown, about what air pressure should i hold in both? should it be a little less since ill be going so fast? i think they are 26".
4. i bought a Bell F-20 bike computer from Fleet Farm (or Farm and Fleet you crazy southerners. :] )
anyways, how do i know that the reading is accurate? put the mounting bracket by the tire and the magnet on the spoke, but does it matter how far up or down you put it? it has to be adjusted up and down to get the mount and the tire magnet close to each other.
i was cruising with one friend on a moped, and he said we were going 25 and thats what my speedometer said. was riding with another friend and when i said 25, he said 30.
the man with 2 watches never knows what time it is.
the man who mounts the cheap computer on his bike never knows how fast he is going?
thanks for any help!
